cmd/compile: intercept string compares in libFuzzer mode
IR string compares as well as calls to string comparison functions such
as `strings.EqualFold` are intercepted and the corresponding libFuzzer
callbacks are invoked with the corresponding arguments. As a result, the
compared strings will be added to libFuzzer’s table of recent compares,
which feeds future mutations performed by the fuzzer and thus allow it
to reach into branches guarded by string comparisons.
The list of methods to intercept is maintained in
`cmd/compile/internal/walk/expr.go` and can easily be extended to cover
more standard library functions in the future.
